Making a video like this is very complicated for me, but I couldn’t hide from you the fact that in this period I got some bad news. Those who follow me this year know that my mom had to deal with an illnessbreast cancer, for which she had to undergo all the necessary treatments and operations … Since she was not the first woman in her family to suffer from such a problem, she underwent a tests to determine if the disease was genetic and transmissible. Thanks to this test he realized that this gene, which makes you more predisposed to have ovarian or breast cancer, was actually mutated. The first thing she did was to call her family to warn them and have them tested. My brother and I also underwent this test. The chance of passing this mutated gene to children is 50%.

Like this Roberta Zacchero and her brother took the test, which consists of a blood test to look for the gene and see if it has changed. The results arrived on Friday morning. Luckily the brother did not inherit this gene. Unfortunately she does. This means that she is very predisposed to get sick during her life. Consequently, he has to undergo many tests throughout his life, even very close, 6 months or a year later, to avoid discovering too late that he has a tumor. Living with this thought is not easy for anyone. Living there knowing that you have more chances of getting sick than the average is even worse:
It took me a while to metabolize it, because that means being afraid. Having already experienced such a situation closely with my mom, I know what we are facing. I was much luckier than her, because knowing that I have this gene I can do a lot more checks. You can undergo the removal of the breasts and ovaries (but only after a certain age), but there is always a small percentage of probability of getting sick … knowing that you are so exposed to a disease that does not spare many people does not make me do it sleep peacefully… vI would like to remind everyone that their health is really important and you must always take care of it.
We have to thank Roberta for two reasons. The first: he reminded everyone how important it is to think about your health. The second: to raise awareness among your audience on the subject, you spoke about something so personal with a lot of humanity, spontaneity and naturalness, reaching straight to the heart of those who listened to it. We take this opportunity to remind everyone that prevention is very important: only by controlling ourselves can we try to avoid the worst. There is still one thing to say: Roberta we are with you.
